I'm tracking my sales. One column (I) has a dropdown for either "New"
or "Used" and the other (J) has a dropdown for either "Car" or Truck.

New Car
New Car
Used Truck
Used Car
New Truck
Used Truck
Used Car

How can I make Excel Count the number of "Car" that are ALSO "New"
I've tried some COUNTIF commands with an AND command in there. I may
be way off, but I also could just have a ) in the wrong place.

I need it to tell me that {New Cars=2}{New Trucks=1}..etc...

I hope I explained this ? alright.

Thanks for all your help.

The New's and Used's are in one column

and the Cars and Trucks are in a seperate column. I had them spaced
properly while I was typing the the format didn't stay with it when I
posted.

=SUMPRODUCT(--(I2:I500="New"),--(J2:J500="Truck"))

replace the new and truck with cells where you type the data that way you
don't have to edit the formula every time you change criteria

for example

=SUMPRODUCT(--(I2:I500=K2),--(J2:J500=L2))

I had never heard of the SUMPRODUCT function. That did the trick.
Thanks!
